The Robertson Inn has a new name, new owners and a new direction. Now known as the Robertson Public House, the pub officially changed hands on Tuesday. The hotel was sold to an Illawarra-based syndicate with a mix of hospitality, and broader business experience. The new team is working hard to put its own stamp on the hotel. Earlier in the week new signage was put on display and a vintage truck was unveiled to match the vintage pub. The owners are also currently in the process of hiring four to five kitchen staff as well as 10 to 15 bar staff. Co-owner Steven Savic said the hotel would have a strong focus on local produce. “We’re looking at establishing a venue with a paddock to plate focus,” Mr Savic said.
